Hiya all,

is there a way to turn off the "head bop animation" while fighting melee?
It makes my stomach go crazy and gives me headaches. :(

Maybe theres an option that i might have overlooked?
Or a simple command line in an .ini file that can be changed without too much trouble?

Thanks in advance guys,
Owsey

Not really sure honestly, but I do understand how it can get nauseating :oops:.

Personally, I play first person and then scroll out to 3rd person as soon as combat starts going on, with setting your max frames to ~50 or so, you can use right click mouse look to swiftly strafe/get around. Like some other MMORPG's.

I know with targeting and looting and what have you, Everquest was definitely designed to play in the 1st person, but if tabbing targets and learning the quirks of looting etc., it may be worthwhile trying it out.

Thanks for the tip, Capa!!
I am definitely gonna give this a try, even tho i've tried similar things and they've never really (or truly) worked for me, mostly due to the fact, which you pointed out already, that EQ is primarily made for playing in 1st person view.

Anyways, ill give it a go and i will keep looking for better solutions and let you all know once i find anything usefull (still hoping for a solution code-wise)!!

Cheers,
